At 1 pm on February 24, the Chinese Navy's Ningde destroyer took the lead in the Panama Canal and sailed eastward. After that, several other light cruisers and destroyers caught fire. Behind them are the Tang-class, battleships and four
The Han-class battleship is now. Although the Panama Canal is only 65 kilometers long, it takes 8 hours to complete the passage because it has to pass through several locks. It was already evening when the Chinese Navy passed through the Panama Canal!
The Chinese troops stationed around the Panama Canal have already put martial law on the entire canal. Panama people and other foreigners in the canal area are required to be at least 5 kilometers away from the canal to avoid spy exploration from the United States and other countries.
Details of the Chinese Navy's Expeditionary Fleet. Especially at night, the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier formation will also pass through the canal, and then there will be even more need to strengthen prevention!
At 7 pm, the main fleet of the Chinese Navy had all passed through the canal, but the martial law was not over. At this time, the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier formation arrived at the Panama Canal without any stop. These aircraft carriers and escort warships entered directly.
By dawn, the aircraft carrier formation had already passed the Canal and entered the Caribbean Sea. During this period, no spies sent by the United States to Panama were discovered.
It was also after the aircraft carrier formation safely passed the Panama Canal that the Chinese Navy had been relieved. Although, even if the aircraft carrier formation was exposed, the US Navy could not defeat the Chinese Navy. However, this will always give China
The victory of the Navy has an impact. If the U.S. Navy concedes in a military port or moves within the combat radius of their land fighter jets, the Chinese Navy will also lose the opportunity to severely damage or even wipe out the main force of the U.S. Navy. After all, four ships'
The Emei Mountain class aircraft carrier is equipped with only 320 aircraft in total, and there are less than 100 fighter jets responsible for escorting. Obviously, it is impossible to fight the decisive battle with the US Army Air Force.
The U.S. Army Air Force has begun to equip the Hurricane and Pifc fighter jets. The performance of this fighter jet is similar to that of the Chinese Air Force's FB' Haidongqing, fighter jets, and the Chinese Navy's FB' Haifeng, fighter jets cannot gain a decisive advantage. Therefore,
The main goal of the Chinese Navy is the main fleet of the US Navy. There is no need to engage in large-scale battles with the US Army's aviation forces. In this way, it will be a bit more worthwhile!
After entering the Caribbean Sea through the Panama Canal, the Chinese Navy advanced directly eastward. According to the information obtained, the combined fleet composed of the US Navy and the British Navy still stayed at the Norfolk Naval Base on the east coast of the United States. The Chinese Navy Expeditionary Fleet
Preparing to cross the Andres Islands to enter the Atlantic Ocean and then approaching the United States. During this period, the fleet must be careful, especially the aircraft carriers must avoid being discovered by the US intelligence agencies. The four Emeishan class, the aircraft carriers were all camouflaged
At the same time, the seaplanes that take off from heavy cruisers will also conduct reconnaissance of nearby waters. Once ships of any country are discovered, they will inform the aircraft carrier formation to allow the aircraft carrier formation to avoid being discovered earlier and avoid being discovered! The aircraft carrier formation is the naval battle this time
The decisive force is also the key confidential force of the Chinese Navy!
Norfolk Naval Base, the largest naval base of the U.S. Navy. All the main battleships of the U.S. Navy's East Coast Fleet have been gathered here, not only the warships of the U.S. Navy, but also the expeditionary fleet mainly consisting of six battleship groups sent by the British Navy.
He also crossed the Atlantic Ocean and arrived at Norfolk Naval Base. British Admiral John.
De.
Robeck has begun to join William, commander of the U.S. Navy's East Coast Fleet.
Admiral Benson contacted and discussed the command of the joint fleet!
At the same time, a steady stream of information about the movements of the Chinese Navy was sent back to the Norfolk Naval Base from the Caribbean region for the joint British and French naval fleet to judge the next trend of the Chinese Navy to determine where to fight the Chinese Navy!
At 2 p.m. on December 31, US Navy Secretary George.
Feng.
Lungelk.
Meyer arrived at Norfolk military port and listened to William, commander of the United Fleet.
Admiral Benson and others reported on this naval battle. Theodore.
President Roosevelt is still waiting for his reply!
In William.
In the office of Admiral Benson, Minister Meyer sat on the sofa, commander of the United Fleet William.
Admiral Benson, Deputy Commander, British Admiral John.
De.
Robeck Joint Fleet Chief of Staff Edward.
Lieutenant General Abol sat on the sofa opposite Meyer!
"Everyone, Your Excellency the President is very concerned about the decisive battle at sea with the Chinese. The Chinese had already passed the Panama Canal a week ago and entered the Caribbean Sea. It is foreseeable that we will soon be with the Chinese.
The decisive battle! We must win this battle! Otherwise, the United States will be completely over!" Minister Meyer said seriously. The US government and the American people have put all their hopes on this naval battle.
If it fails, you can imagine how big a blow it will cause to American society! At that time, it will be difficult for the United States to persist and will be quickly destroyed by China!
"His Excellency Minister, the US Navy is ready, we can set off at any time. This time, we will definitely be able to beat the Chinese people to the point of falling!" William.
Admiral Benson said confidently. The number of main battleships of the US Navy is twice as high as that of the Chinese Navy. With the six battleships of the British Navy, the number will skyrocket to three times that of the Chinese Navy’s Expeditionary Fleet!
There is some difference in quality of warships compared with the Chinese Navy. But if they can't beat the Chinese Navy in a three-to-one situation, then they, the navy soldiers, might as well commit suicide by themselves!
"Well! I believe you can do it. The US Navy can definitely avenge the previous shame!" Navy Secretary Mayer nodded. In the two previous Sino-US Pacific Wars, the United States ended with the failure of the United States.
The main reason is the failure of the US Navy, which allows the Chinese army to land directly on the west coast of the United States and then advance to the hinterland of the United States. These two failures have always been a huge shame for the US Navy. Now, they
Finally got a chance to wash away this shame!
"Chief of Staff, let the Minister introduce to you the Minister the strength comparison between us and the Chinese, so that the Minister and the President can rest assured!" William.
Admiral Benson said. This time, he was full of energy. Although the battle had not begun, he had already determined in his heart that the final victory belonged to them!
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander!" Edward, Chief of Staff of the Joint Fleet.
Lieutenant General Abol said.
"Mr. Minister, according to the information we have obtained, the Chinese expeditionary fleet still had only 15 main battleships when it passed through the Panama Canal. From this we can judge that the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet really had only 15 main battleships, which was arrogant.
The Chinese thought that these 15 main battleships could defeat us! Among the main battleships of the Chinese Expeditionary Fleet, there are 8 battleships and 4 battlecruisers. The 8 battleships are four Tang-class, battleships and 4 Han-class respectively.
Battleship.' Tang-class, the battleship is the most powerful battleship currently equipped by the Chinese Navy, with a displacement of nearly 40,000 tons, and its military equipment is three triple-mounted 381mm main guns. Compared with our Pennsylvania-class, battleship,
The Chinese' Tang-class battleship tonnage is more than 6,000 tons and nearly 7,000 tons. Although the main gun is the same caliber, the Chinese's main gun is 50 times the caliber, and ours is only 42 times the caliber. This means
The Chinese's Tang-class battleships were more armored and more powerful than our Pennsylvania-class battleships. But fortunately, the Chinese only built four such powerful battleships.
Our Pennsylvania-class battleship has 6, and the British Navy has also sent a Queen Elizabeth battleship of the same class. In this way, we have 7 battleships of the Tang-class battleship of the battleship of the same class.
We have the advantage of 3 ships on the Chinese
'Han-class, battleships, displacement is about 28,000 tons, while our Nevada-class, battleships are 30,000 tons, New York-class, battleships and Wyoming-class, displacement is 25,000 tons.
In terms of the Han-class battleship, the battleships are three triple-mounted 343mm main guns, while our Nevada-class, battleships, New York-class, battleships and Wyoming-class battleships are all five double-mounted 343mm main guns.
Our analysis shows that the Chinese
The battleships of the Han-class battleships are comparable to ours.
'New York class, battleships and 'Wyoming class, battleships are slightly stronger. However, among the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet, there are only 4 battleships, and we have 6 Nevada class, battleships, and two New York class, battleships
Like the three Wyoming-class battleships, the battleships, which are almost three times that of the Chinese Navy's Han-class battleships! In addition, we have 13 other battleships of all levels. In terms of battleship cruisers, the Chinese have 6 Han-Xin-class battleships, the battleships
Cruiser and a 'Bai Qi-class, battle cruiser. Although we still don't know the specific data of the Chinese' Han Xin-class, battle cruiser, it is estimated that it is similar to our 'Colorado-class, battle cruiser, but
We have 4 "Colorado-class, battle cruisers, 3 "South Dakota-class, battle cruisers and "North Carolina-class, battle cruisers. Overall, our naval main fleet is much stronger than the Chinese!
